BIOS update on T42p problem

[ Edited ]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to update the BIOS on my T42p (current version is 3.13) to 3.23 , I ran update utility, but nothing happens after laptop restarted. I'm following the luxury watches update procedure, but looks like somehow procedure doen't work.

Does somebody met this problem?

 

Thank you.

Re: BIOS update on T42p problem

Verify that the BIOS update by end-users is enabled in BIOS settings, and that no passwords are present.

 

Good luck.

Cheers,

George
